Massachusetts US Attorney Rachael Rollins resigns over DOJ probe into Dem fundraiser attendance

U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins will be resigning following an investigation that lasted a month by the Justice Department's inspector general over a Biden fundraiser and other potential ethics violations. 

So another Democrat bites the political dust.

Rollins told The Associated Press that she will be submitting her resignation letter Friday [today] to our so called President Joe Biden. This is not a frequent occurrence and is especially a big deal for a Justice Department run by AG Merrick Garland who tends to bend over backwards for fellow Democrats, regardless of their behavior.

Rollins’ attorney, former Justice Department Inspector General Michael Bromwich, said Rollins would be stepping down by Friday.

"Rachael has been profoundly honored to serve as U.S. Attorney over the past 16 months and is incredibly proud of all her office has accomplished during that limited time, especially in the areas of gun violence and civil rights," Bromwich said, leaving out the unethical parts.

"She is optimistic that the important work she started will continue but understands that her presence has become a distraction. The work of the office and the Department of Justice is far too important to be overshadowed by anything else."

The inspector general's office opened an investigation into Rollins last November, over her appearance at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser featuring first lady and eminent Doctor Jill Biden.

The probe then metastasized into other areas such as Rollins' personal cell phone use to conduct Justice Department business. It also probed into a trip she took to California that was paid for by an outside group, which is an ethics problem as it looks like, and might be, influence peddling as seen with President Biden and his drug addled, whoring son, Hunter.

In a July tweet, Rollins said she "had approval" to meet the eminent Doctor Jill Biden and left the event early to speak at two community events.

Someone familiar with discussions before that event said that Rollins was only given limited permission to meet the eminent Doctor Jill Biden outside the home.

Rollins acknowledged the investigation during a December meeting with reporters, saying she doesn't want her office to be "distracted" by the probe, which is code for "I screwed up and got caught," but at least she didn't claim that she wants to spend more time with her family.

So Rollins falls in lockstep with another Democrat and another Soros-funded St. Louis circuit Attorney Kim Gardner.
